Description of the technology inside

We are using assimp as a git submodule, CMake is only needed to build assimp. The actual loading of the asset files is done by assimp, and this plugin only converts them from the format loaded by assimp to a format usable by the Unreal Engine. The build of assimp is done automatically during the project build process. Currently, only Windows is supported.
